Yes, that was a monochrome display, though, wasn't it? It's likely that if it
did receive a TTL-compatible signal from the video circuit, it was attenuated in
the monitor interface circuitry. The Osborne used a COTS monitor and probably
wouldn't have had it customed in order to save a couple of resistors.

The Osborne 1 also used TTL-level signals for its
video.

Looking at to references I have here, I see two monitors
right off the bat that take a TTL signal as input: both the Tandy
CM-1 and VM-1 monitors, not to mention the current crop of DVI LCD's
out there.
